Today, many people, thinking about where to rest, prefer economical options, a home environment, the natural beauty of the middle lane. Often, such tourists choose a private vacation, which is offered by the owners of the guest houses. Therefore, this type of business looks quite attractive.
Opening your own hotel is an option for wealthy people. But the guest house is a quite affordable project. This format is very widespread in the West, in Russia it is just beginning to develop, but it has great prospects.
To organize a guest house, you don't need a very large start-up capital. After all, such a mini-hotel can be opened on the basis of an existing house in the village. Of course, the ideal option is a guest house by the sea. But a mini-hotel in a pretty Russian outback, where there is a forest, a river and other beauties, can become quite profitable.
For guest houses, preferential taxation is provided, if there are no more than 10 rooms, you do not need to register a legal entity, certification is a strictly voluntary matter. But, of course, the owners themselves should be primarily interested in providing quality services. After all, the success of projects of this format is based on an attentive attitude towards guests, a homely atmosphere and some kind of "zest" that the owners come up with.
Someone organizes various programs for guests such as horse rides or night fishing, someone offers to take a steam bath in a real Russian bath or raft down the river - creativity in such a case is welcome. An important part of the success is the delicious homemade food served by the hosts who usually live nearby. Of course, you need to take care of the comfort of vacationers, provide for different types of rooms with the ability to put an extra bed, organize parking.
If tourists managed to have a good rest, they tell their friends and acquaintances about the guest house, and they also come there, believing the word of mouth. Experts say that a private guest house pays off in 2, 5-4 years. The profitability ranges from 20-30%. In many Russian regions, the authorities are now supporting the development of guest houses. There are special programs, schools for training in the management of private hotels.
